Brelade House, Littlethorpe Road, Ripon, North Yorkshire, HG4

A spacious detached country home in close proximity to the centre of Ripon.


Ripon for those of you less familiar with the town is one of the most sought after locations to live in North Yorkshire. Set on the edge of the beautiful Yorkshire Dales and with the river Ure meandering through the villages it is truly a stunning place to live. Despite this Ripon is easy connectivity for the commuter and also a short drive to Harrogate. Ripon is handy with all the large supermarkets etc one would expect to see in a larger town.


Ripon also boasts a beautiful market square (you can walk to in less than 10 mins from the house) and is a throw back in time with many artisan cafes, independent eateries, some outstanding gastro pubs, GP services a small hospital and a weekly fresh farmers markets with a wide selection of produce and excellent fresh fish. Ripon also boasts one of the finest Grammar schools in the country and the property falls into encatchment for this. It is also a short commute to two of the finest private schools in the region Cundall Manor and Queen Marys and there are private bus services from Ripon to both.

The property built in stylish brick offering much curb appeal sits in a large plot with a lovely garden and is approached through entrance gates and then on to a sweeping drive. On arrival you will find secure parking for many vehicles as well as a large double garage. The entrance sets the tone, a stunning door with stone and brick surround which opens onto a wonderful hallway set with a stylish easy to clean floor and a beautiful extra wide staircase in oak.

The hall leads to a number of beautifully finished rooms. The huge adult living room is very elegant, tastefully decorated and has a wood burning stove with a stunning surround fireplace as a centrepiece. This is without question a wonderful place to relax or entertain. There is then a good size family room which looks super comfy and a great spot to unwind and watch some weekend television.

The kitchen has to be the real hub of the home with beautifully crafted units, easy to clean down stylish work surfaces, breakfast island and a large range cooker as well as all the other essential appliances one would expect to see. There is also ample space for a breakfast dining table as you will see from the photo reel. The property also benefits from a large separate dining room which could seat many guests.

Completing the first floor is a good size office/study ideal for those working from home, a utility room and WC.

The first floor continues to impress with 5 double bedrooms two of which share a cleverly worked Jack and Jill bathroom. The bedrooms are all large in size with plenty of storage space. The house bathroom services the rest of the bedrooms on this floor. It is a large floor to ceiling tiled space with a gorgeous jacuzzi style bath and separate shower cubicle.

Finally we have the second floor which boasts the principle suite (although there are large bedrooms on the first floor if you need to be closer to kids etc) with dressing area and the most wonderful en-suite. It feels like you are in another world up here, super private, very cosy/relaxing yet a great space. A fantastic addition.

There are still more benefits to this wonderful property. We touched on the double garage, well above the garage is a huge games room/man cave/gym/kids crash out den.

Last but definitely not least are the gardens which you will need to come and visit to appreciate in full. A lovely large lawned area in a private setting, sun trap patio areas for al fresco dining and of course the Summer BBQ and all this yet so close to local amenities.

Overall a wonderful family home in a lovely location.

Do enjoy the photo reel and be sure to reserve your viewing at your earliest convenience.
